Bundesliga Table: Bayern Munich Extend Lead

Bayern Extend Lead

Bayern Munich extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table to four points on Saturday with a 2-0 win at Werder Bremen. Robert Lewandowski scored his 13th goal of the season in the 20th minute, and Serge Gnabry added another in the 59th minute to seal the win.

Borussia Dortmund Stay in Touch

Borussia Dortmund kept pace with Bayern, beating Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1 at home. Erling Haaland scored twice for Dortmund, taking his tally to 10 goals in the Bundesliga this season.

RB Leipzig remain in third place, but they missed the chance to close the gap on Bayern after being held to a 1-1 draw at home by Wolfsburg.

Bayer Leverkusen moved up to fourth place with a 3-0 win at Mainz, while Borussia Monchengladbach moved up to fifth with a 2-1 win at home to Stuttgart.

In the relegation battle, Arminia Bielefeld boosted their survival hopes with a 2-0 win at home to FC Augsburg. Cologne and Greuther Furth remain in the bottom two, while Hertha Berlin moved out of the relegation zone with a 2-1 win at home to Union Berlin.

Conclusion

This weekend's results have left Bayern Munich firmly in control of the Bundesliga title race. With just nine games remaining, it would take a major collapse for them to be caught.

Borussia Dortmund remain in touch, but they will need to keep winning if they are to have any chance of catching Bayern. RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen are also still in the race, but they will need to start picking up more points if they want to challenge for the title.

At the bottom of the table, Arminia Bielefeld have given themselves a fighting chance of staying up, while Cologne and Greuther Furth look increasingly likely to be relegated.
